1 PEOCEEDIKGS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May 1 898, 



AWA.ED OF THE BaRLOW-JamESON PuUD. 



In presenting to Mr. E. Geeej^ly, E.G.S., a portion of the 

 Proceeds of the Earl ow- Jameson Fund, the Peesident addressed him 

 as follows : — 



Mr. Geeenly, — 



The Council of the Geological Society have awarded to you the 

 sum of Twenty Pounds from the JBarlow- Jameson Fund, in recog- 

 nition of your scientific labours, and to aid you in the important 

 researches which you are now so assiduously carrying on amongst the 

 older rocks in Anglesey. The experience which you gained when 

 on the staff of the Geological Survey in the North-west of Scotland 

 has enabled you already to attack very successfully some of the 

 problems connected with the older rocks ; and many are looking 

 forward with great interest to the further results of your labours. 

 I must not omit to mention that, although no longer a Member of 

 the Geological Survey, you have continued to work as assiduously, 

 and with the same attention to minute details, as when on that staff; 

 and that the expenses, which must have been considerable, have 

 been hitherto defrayed out of your private income. This is a strong 

 testimony to the love which you entertain for that science which you 

 were led to adopt as a profession mainly, I believe, through attending 

 the lectures of Prof. Bonney at University College, London. It gives 

 me great pleasure to hand you this Award on behalf of the Council. 



Mr. Geeenly, in reply, said : — 

 Mr. Peesideistt, — 



I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the Council of this 

 Society for the great honour which they have conferred upon 

 me. It is also. Sir, an additional pleasure to receive it at your 

 hands, when I think of your own pioneer researches in the same 

 field. With regard to my own work, its present field was chosen 

 because I wished to continue to utilize the experience and training 

 for which I am so deeply indebted to the Geological Survey. Mapping 

 itself I continue to do, not merely because I have faith in it as a 

 method of research, but because it is a pleasure — because I know 

 no more delightful employment. Nevertheless it is a method which 

 involves much that might be called drudgery, with no apparent 

 reward. At such times this Award will ever be an encouragement 

 to persevere, as I hope to do while I have strength and opportunity.
